From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AfterEllen.com, founded in April 2002, is a website that focuses on the
portrayal of lesbian and bisexual
women in the media.[1]
Its gay male counterpart,
AfterElton.com, was launched in January 2005.[2]
The websites were founded by Sarah Warn, who serves as editor-in-chief of
both; Michael Jensen has been the editor of AfterElton.com since
November 2005. Both websites were bought in 2006 by the cable
television channel Logo.

AfterEllen.com

AfterEllen.com is not affiliated with Ellen DeGeneres, although its name
refers to the milestone for lesbians when DeGeneres publicly came out.

The site considers television, film, music, books, and celebrity news. It
publishes articles, regular columns, reviews, recaps of television
shows with lesbian and bisexual characters, and maintains several
blogs. More recently, weekly video
blogs, often called "vlogs," have become a key part of
AfterEllen.com, the more popular of which include "We're
Getting Nowhere", "Brunch With Bridget" and "She Made Me Watch
This".

It is the top website for LGBT
women, reaching over 700,000 readers a month as of 2008.[3] In
March 2008, it was named one of "the world's 50 most powerful
blogs" by British newspaper The Observer for its "irreverent look
at how the lesbian community is represented in the media."[4]
